Plasma Monday Meeting, 17-07-2017
Present: romangg, Riddell, kbroulik, notmart, bshah d_ed, sebas
* still working on my GSoC project and my master thesis.
* Last week I fixed a bug with a KWin patch, that's all:
https://phabricator.kde.org/D6659
Diff 6659 "[logind] Correct property name to fix logind session" [Closed]
https://phabricator.kde.org/D6659
but GSoC project is very interesting
Riddell:
* I'm due to make 5.10.4 tomorrow, I hope there's lots of exciting bugfixes in
it, is all from me
kbroulik:
* I found that the "NoNetworkAccessManager" in notification doesn't actually
work (with shared engine stuff in Plasma nowadays) and an app can cause a
network request by sending a notification containing <img
src="http://some-evil-tracking-site.com";>. Made a patch to remove images from
notification body D6673, should go into 5.8 for security, so this needs careful
review.
Diff 6673 "[Notifications] Manually remove remote images" [Needs Review]
https://phabricator.kde.org/D6673
* Please also have a look at D6679 which enforces PlainText in Buttons. I know
this is a behavior change *but* Desktop style QQC never supported it and people
shouldn't be doing that for buttons anyway. It's another area where a
notification can cause network requests. (The third being the title label but I
just enforced PlainText on that Label and done)
Diff 6679 "Treat Button/ToolButton labels as plaintext" [Needs Review]
https://phabricator.kde.org/D6679
Maybe something for Akademy Plasma Bof – how can we secure/strengthen Plasma to
avoid those issues. However, most things are just the nature of QML allowing
"everything" and all running in Plasma. But something to consider for Plasma 6
(wayland-compositor plasmoids, proper sandboxing, etc :P)
* Also did some cleanup in various places (removing unused JS files, pragma
library where possible, new connect syntax in some places etc)
* Will look into some patches I got for plasma-browser-integration, planning to
update the store-provided extension package (haven't done in a while)
* I fixed QDialogButtonBox https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/198123/
finally merged! So mnemonics in e.g. system settings work fine again
notmart:
* working on akademy presentations
* kirigami: better look for the globaldrawer on desktop (when scrollbar is
always visible)
* kirigami: better layout when the main scrollable is a grid view
* discover: adapt to it and make the search field perfectly aligned both with
and without scrollbar
* port okular mobile to kirigami 2
* work with the gsoc student on koko
* investigating and frustration on wayland for the usual problem of not having
surfaces at the proper moment
bshah:
- More work on akademy presentation
- [plasma mobile] Fixing the pulseaudio to get audio working again
- [halium] Some more documentation writing
- [halium] mostly reviewing patches and helping people to move ports forward
d_ed:
* been trying (and failing) to port anything to plasma components 3, have lots
of data for BOF discussion about what we need to fix
* making the baloo runner out of process is stalled on stupid categories. It
uses translated strings as config values
* I fixed two things in QtWayland
sebas:
* Finishing Akademy talk preps with notmart as we speak, it's the Plasma State
of the Union, review of the past year, cool fancy new features presented and
outlook into future topics such as next LTS, vision and containerization
* Fixing code licenses in our metadadata.desktop files to align with actual
licenses (most said GPL v1)
* Just sent out an email declaring our lastest Plasma vision draft final and
hinted at next steps
* bit of kscreen triaging
Next week is Akademy and our Plasma BoF, so no IRC meeting then but face to
face pow-wow.
